Weight & Balance Engineering, also known as Mass Properties Engineering, is the technical discipline which refers
to the prediction, determination, management and tracking of the weight, Center of Gravity, and Moment of Inertia
for a new product.
The Programs > Management page allows you to create and manage programs in the database. A Program structure includes Versions, Variants, and Products
in the order of hierarchy.
WA provides a powerful and comprehensive mission simulation module which allows you to calculate the evolution of the weight
during the flight and to monitor how this curve changes over the product life cycle.
The Envelope Management page allows you to create a simulation based on a Concept or Snapshot in a Program. You must
create at least one Envelope and a list of the task items.
The Equipment Management page allows you to add one or more special items (with weight in addition or subtraction)
to a simulation and create or manage a specific equipment.
The Simulation page allows you to visualize the simulation of a specific Mission related to a specific Product once
you have created and defined a Mission.

The Fuel Law Management page allows you to create a fuel law for a
Mission.
To create a Fuel law:
The Fuel Law Management page is shown in the following
image.
Note: If you have not selected a Product, the Fuel Law Management page is empty. If you are working on a Product,
the Product is selected by default in the Fuel Law Management page and maintained throughout different
sessions.
When you pre-select a Program with a Fuel law, the page
is displayed with the Main Attributes,
Lateral and Longitudinal tabs.
The tasks that can be completed using the options in the Fuel Law Management page are:
Select a Program.
View and change the attributes of a Fuel law.
View the impact of the fuel law graphically.
Reload the Program tree in the navigation panel.
Add a Fuel law to the Program.
Remove a Fuel law from the Program.
Click Mission > Fuel Law Management.
Fuel Law Management page is displayed.
Click the Select Program icon.
The Select Program window is displayed.
Note:
The Select Program window displays only the Program which has permissions.
